Leinster Women's Division One:
UCD 3 (Rachel Burke 2, Kerry McComish) Pembroke 0
UCD cruised to a comfortable 3-0 win over Pembroke as their greater sharpness in either 25 proved the difference at Belfield tonight. Rachel Burke gave College an early lead with a superb solo effort, breaking down the right-hand baseline, beating a trio of tacklers before pulling the ball on to her reverse and scoring with a reverse at full stretch.
Thereafter, UCD pinned Pembroke back and got their second just a minute before the break when Kerry McComish swept in a penalty corner - won by Fiona Braddish's intercept inside the 25 - to make it 2-0 against her former club.
Lisa Jacob slipped two chances by the post to extend the margin - the latter well deflected wide by Lisa O'Rourke - while Pembroke struggled to test Grace O'Flanagan with six penalty corners.
They did, though, enjoy a better second period with Karen Hales a driving presence throughout but Burke flicked home her second near the end, after Bradish and Jacob had created the chance, to add some gloss to the scoreline.
